A non-stop fun from the first to the fourth floor, Sky Garden fits the title of the most exciting nightlife in Kuta. The name may sound poetic, but once you get in, you’ll be at the heart of all the night town pulsing life with spectacular light shows and non-stop beats.

Whether you love jazz, EDM, house club, or want to chill out, every level packs a different vibe. With the list of DJs changing every day, no wonder Sky Garden is always flooded with tourists and locals looking for a spot to dance the night away.

Before saying you can’t find any Irish pub in Kuta, then Gracie Kelly’s will prove you wrong. A traditional Irish pub in every sense — think of green, St. Patrick’s Day, and Irish beers — Gracie Kelly’s gets you to sit down, have a beer, watch sports on a giant screen, and have a chance to mingle with strangers.

The colorful stained glass windows and lamps will transport you to the pubs you often see in Dublin. Boasting regular live music, pool tables, and darts to kill time while waiting for your order of Kelly’s Irish Seafood Chowder or everyone’s favorite, Shepherd’s Pie, Gracie Kelly’s Irish Pub waves her hands for you to get in!

The rooftop bar to see the famous Bali sunset with Kuta Beach in the background is the bustling energy that Kuta Social Club brings to you. The breezy ocean air with open-air restaurants makes Mediterranean foods like grilled prawns, seafood platters, and dry-aged Tomahawk steak taste more flavorful in your mouth.

With the free flow of cocktails on Ladies Night on Sunday and Sunset Spritz every afternoon, take a plunge on the infinity pool. If the Bali sun shines too bright, head to the huts and lounging beds to chill with Spiced Mojito or Red Society to cool down your thirst.

Your pub crawl in Kuta is missing the zest if you’re passing on Hard Rock Cafe Bali. Sure, taking a photo with the iconic guitar makes a collectible memento of your visit. But don’t come here for the American burgers and steaks only. Stay for the live band because that’s the fun part of going to Hard Rock Cafe Bali.

Join the crowd for live music every night, with different bands playing your favorite tunes. And before you hit the dance floor, sip the signature cocktail, Hurricane, from their classic New Orleans 1940s repertoire. But if the cocktail is not your thing, the list of crafted beers, sangria, and soju are there for you to drink.

If the infinity pool at The Seven Rooftop Bar can’t get you excited enough, the full view of Kuta’s coastline should seal the deal. It’s the ultimate place to take your significant other for a pleasant dinner with a fusion of European and Asian on the menu. Whether you go for a burger, sandwich, or pasta, the view makes the food taste a million times better.

If you fancy an afternoon drink, get the Afternoon Tea Experience, the Swim with Sunset package, or indulge in the Apocalypse or Thunder Bolt from the Happy Hours promo. With the live DJ blasting their setlist every Thursday and Saturday, your fun in Kuta starts when the night falls.

At Paddy’s Pub, you get no dress code, no entry fee, and cheap, yet you get all the fun. The striking Balinese gate ornament makes Paddy’s Pub easily recognizable as it’s the only one like that on Legian Street. The party knows no bounds because no matter whether on weeknights or weekends, the music keeps on pulsing.

Once the DJ hits play on their setlist, it’s your sign to bop your head and scream your lungs out at one of the most legendary pubs in Bali. Get your energy from Pub Grub or Pub Bites menu with fries and a sandwich. Then pick the Margarita or Espresso Martini to get your night started and dance the night until the stars fade away!

Food, cocktails, and sunset… These are the three best things you get at Envy Bali Bar and Restaurant. Though more of a chill spot for sundowners rather than a boisterous night out, Envy executes the fun through live jazz, acoustic, and solo guitar to get the groove while you sip their Envious Rose or Tiramisu Foam on Happy Hours.

Nibble on Chicken Wrap or take a bite of their Pipeline Pizza before getting your body moved on Sunday when live DJs put on the beats. The fire dance on Saturday and the traditional Balinese dance on Thursday will get you to book the table at Envy now. Because who doesn’t want a front-row seat at one of the beachside restaurants in Kuta?

Sports lovers, rejoice as you flop down to check out your favorite live games at the greatest sports bar in Kuta! The Goat Legian, aka The Greatest of All Time, displays multiple screens to bring you matches from Australia and around the world. Check the calendar and join the other die-hard fans rooting for their favorite teams or players.

The live DJs and music every night mean The Goat Legian doesn’t sidetrack non-sport aficionados. The whooping 600 grams of pork ribs or Big Mouth Burger should get you through the night before the game starts or get swayed by the beats. Take a shot or sip your margarita to kickstart your night out in Kuta.

Get the taste of the first local craft beer bar in Bali at Stark Craft Beer Garden. Pick the rice-based pilsener, Belgian-style witbier, dark wheat, or malt, and find your favorite flavors. Though heavy on beers, don’t misjudge their signature cocktails. Tia Maria or Fruit Tingle will give you enough kick to chill out in their industrial pub style.

The pool table and the beer pong drinking game mean you need to tag your buddies along to play some rounds. And when hunger strikes, you can’t go wrong ordering a Cajun Pork Belly or Burger Combo to pair with your craft beers or cocktails. Join the groove when the live band starts playing, or just sit and chat, whatever rocks your boat.

If you’re a sports buff and looking for things to do in Kuta, what’s more fun than seeing the big matches on a giant screen? At this sports bar in Kuta, the game broadcast may steal the spotlight, but come from Sunday to Thursday, starting at 8.30 PM, and you’ll get all the laughs from the drag queen shows.

Before having all the fun, let the live band get your night to a good start. Have a slice of Special Turtle Pizza, or take a spoonful of Nasi Goreng Special ala Turtle for dinner. Then tell the bartender to make you a Blue Margarita or Turtle Martini, as they have a Buy 1 Get 1 promo all day long while waiting for the cabaret or your awaited big game to start.
